It's Hamann Time for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster

At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Hamann Motorsport had unveiled a tuned version of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG called the Hawk. One year later, the German tuner returns to the same venue to give the Hawk treatment to the roadster version of the SLS AMG.

The open-top model's naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V8 is upgraded with remapped electronics, a high performance exhaust system and a sports air filter that all do their part to lift output from 563hp (571PS) and 650Nm (479.3 lb-ft) to 627hp (636PS) and 680Nm(501.7 lb-ft) of torque.

Hamann's Geneva Motor Show-Bound BMW M5 F10 gets 710-Ponies

Although it specializes in tuning a wide range of cars from Audis to Ferraris, the company founded by Richard Hamann in 1986 has linked its name mostly to BMW's performance models.

The new F10 M5 is the latest model from the Bavarian manufacturer to be tuned by Hamann Motorsport and it will be officially revealed in Geneva this week.

Starting with the styling package, the front and rear wings have been enlarged by 25 and 30mm respectively on each side, while the M5 also gets new front and rear bumpers that are said to reduce lift, side sills, and roof and boot lid spoilers.

Guardian Evo is Hamann's 550HP Wide-Body Version of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo

Tuning house Hamann doesn’t do subtle. What it does do is take premium sports cars and SUVs and turn them into exclusive, and some times, over-the-top creations. One such example is the Guardian Evo that will debut at the 82nd Geneva Motor Show.

The name may not be giving any clues, but nonetheless, the latest proposal of the German tuning firm is based on the second generation of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

2012 Hamann Porsche Panamera Cyrano

HAMANN CYRANO – A fascinating customizing program for Porsche Panamera

The name HAMANN-Motorsport is known all over the world. With the introduction of the new program for Porsche’s Panamera, the tuning company from Laupheim, Germany, commends itself again as the address to be when it comes to sporty accessories and exciting chassis designs for the posh models of the high-end sport cars.

Sporty elegance gives distinction to the HAMANN-CYRANO design: In order to meet the highly visual requirements and aerodynamic demands, the HAMANN engineers revamped the front of the four-seater completely. Larger air intakes in connection with perfectly integrated daytime running lights give the Porsche an even more dynamic look. Moreover, the optimized airflow – generated by the redesigned bonnet – reduces the lift at the front axle even further. Adding 60 mm width to the front and rear fenders makes the GranTurismo look even more imposing and are instrumental for the powerful overall appearance of the HAMANN customization. The HAMANN side skirts were modelled such as to steady the airflow across the sides and let the stylish sports car appear even closer to the tarmac and stretched. In order to reduce the up-lift forces at the rear axle, the HAMANN engineers developed a special diffuser rear apron for the sedan from Zuffenhausen. The apron encases the striking dual tailpipes of the sports exhaust system and makes this car’s rear a real eye catcher.
To bring the mighty appearance of the CYRANO to a full circle, HAMANN added its new 22-inch rims: UNIQUE FORGED “GUNMETAL”. The design of the extremely light wheel combines sportiness and elegance. The recommended front wheel/tyre combination is 9.5Jx22 inches with 265/30 ZR 22 tyres. The rear is fitted with 11.0Jx22 inch rims and 305/25 ZR 22 tyres.

Special eye catchers are the new alu wheels with special suspensions or a lowering module for the air suspension that lowers the Panamera’s center of gravity up to 30 mm. At the same time, the handling of the sports car is notably improved.
The powerful enhancement of the Panamera Turbo will soon be offered by HAMANN as the core part of its customisation program. Included in this upgrade – which is still under development – is a rear sports muffler as well as a new engine management system. The result is a performance increase by 80 hp and a torque that has been enhanced by 120 Nm.

HAMANN completely redesigns the interior of the Panamera and turns it into a Five-Star VIP Lounge. The factory-installed interior has been replaced with the finest leathers. The HAMANN aluminium pedal system shines brilliantly in the footwell and complements perfectly the medical applications of the car’s serial production interior.
Whether it is double clear-coat finish, leather, or Alcantara – what ever your heart’s desire, it is available upon request. From personalized foot mats to complete interior leather finish, everything is made with the highest degree of craftsmanship and precision. Individually designed and integrated into the vehicle by masters of their craft.
